1874 · ⚠️ Why This Is a Dangerously Good Time for Aston Villa to Play Man United... · 20 Dec 2025 podcast

And then it was Casemiro in midfield with Bruno Fernandes just in front of him.

And then it was the kind of stable other three that they rotate up front, Mount and Bumo and Cunha, I think it was.

So they did try something different in defensive phases.

They were defending in a 4-3-3.

Yeah, so I mean, they'd still often build up with the three, 3-2-5 and have five in the front line.

And that would be Ahmad high on the right and Dalot high on the left when they're kind of attacking you.

But then often they'd fall back into that 4-3-3 system.

So, I mean, it is something different, completely different, because so far Ruben Amrim...

in 200 league games and I guess technically 201 league games because he still on paper started with the three at the back, continued with the three at the back.

But actually this is something significantly different that we saw from United where they were defending with a back four, which is going to be something new for Unai Emery to have a look at, which I'm sure he spent most of this week analysing when they decide to go into that shape and in what kind of phases of play they do that.

Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong.

They were good, very good attacking, particularly in that first half.

And actually, their attack has improved this season.

Marginally, I would say.

Attack, yes.

Defensively, still.

Massive problems for United defensively.

absolutely Villa can get at them at the back.

I mean, I'm not sure how it will go because Ruben Amorim has gone on record to say that Kobi Mainu is essentially competition for Bruno Fernandes.

So can I foresee really him now turning to Mainu and Fernandes together?
